Firose vs Revenue Divisional Officer on 11 February, 2011
I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner who submits
that the prosecution proceedings initiated at the instance of the village officer
cannot be sustained under law. He would further contend that the action is also
violative of the law laid down in Firose v. Revenue Divisional Officer [2011
(1) KLT 868], wherein it was held that prosecution can stand only if conversion is
after notification is published. According to the learned counsel, the complaint
was registered on 28.6.2019, and the Data Bank was published only on
22.1.2021.
